A-2 8792R
- a. Fission and Activation Gases Continuous stack monitors monitor gross Noble Gas radioactivity released from the plant stack. Total Noble Gas release rates are calculated using this monitor. On days the monitor shows less tha1 detectable release of fission gases, a zero release is considered.
To determine the isotopic breakdown of the release, samples are taken of the Steam Jet Air Ejector, which is the source gas for the releases. These samples are analyzed by gamma spectroscopy to determine the isotopic composition. The isotopic composition is then proportioned to the gross releases determined f rom the stack monitor to quantify the individu 1 isotopic releases. These are indicated in Table IB and the .als of Table 1A.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1991, grab samples were obtained from the Turbine Building roof vents. Only Xe-135 was detected in these samples. The remainder of the gases indicated were calculated by ratioing the indicated Xe-135 to t'e other gases using the Steam Jet Air Ejector samples as mentioned above. These results are indicated in Table 1C and the tatals of Table 1A.
The error involved in these steps may be approximately t100 percent,
- b. Iodines Continueus isokinetic samples are drawn from the plant stack through a particulate filter and charcoal cartridge. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1991, continuous particulate and charcoal samples were also taken at the Turbine Building roof vents. The filters and cartridges are normally removed weekly and are analyzed for Iodine-131, 132, 133, 134, and 135. The error involved in these steps may be approximately 150 percent.
A-3 8792R
- c. Particulates The particulate filters described in b above are also counted for particulate radioactivity. The error involved in this sample is also approximately 150 percent.
- d. Liquid Effluents Radioactive liquid effluents released from the facility are continuously monitored. Measurements are also made on a representative sample of each batch of radioactive liquid effluents released. For each batch, station records are retained of the total activity (mci) released, concentration (uCi/ml) of gross radioactivity, volume (liters), and approximate total quantity of water (liters) used to dilute the liquid effluent prior to release to the Connecticut River.
Each batch of radioactive liquid effluent released is analyzed for gross gamma and gamma isotopic radioactivity. A monthly proportional composite sample, comprising an aliquot of each batch released during a month, is also analyzed for tritium, SR-89, SR-90, gross beta and gross alpha radioactivity, in addition to gamma spectroscopy.
There were no liquid releases during the reporting period.

==
Introduction:==
describes The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation Process Control Program (PCP) the administrative and technical controls on the radioactive waste systems which provide aseurances that Vermont Yankee meets federal shipping and burial site requirements.
The PCP describes process parameters, controls, and sampling to ensure compliance with 10 CFR Part 71, 10 CFR Part 61, Department of Transportation, state, and burial site regulation requirements.
1.0 Solidification Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation does not routinely solidify liquid waste.
If the use of solidification to dispose of any liquid waste is required, it will be done by an outside vendor under the vendor's PCP. This PCP will be reviewed and approved by the plant Health Physicist, and the Radiation Protection Supervisor prior to implementation. This review is to identify that there is sufficient supporting documentation of the vendor's PCP to give assurance that the final product will meet all requirements for transport and burial, and that sufficient procedural c6ntrols exist to assure safe operations.
2.0 Cartridae Filter Elements Filters Cartridge filter elements will be air dried and compacted as dry active waste.
that are too radioactive to be disposed of in this manner will be placed in spent resin liners for disposal.
3.0 Resins Vermont Yankee for many years has produced radioactive waste in the form of dewatered resins. The method employed for dewatering is a Bird centrifuge. The resin is then discharged via a hopper into a burial container formed to fit into an approved shipping cask.
Commercial ion exchange resins have a certain moisture content in the form of bound Beyond this, ion water resulting from the hygroscopic properties of the resin.
exchange resins can take up free water or surface water which can be removed by centrifuging. The resulting moisture content is expressed in percent of moisture per weight of dry resin.
A number of methods can be used to determine the bound water in ion exchange resins.
Oven drying or azeotropic distillation are techniques which are generally used for high polymers. Vermont Yankee used oven drying to determine moisture content in the radioactive spent resins. Graver Water conditioning Company technical manuals were consulted for the moisture content of unused ion exchange resins.

Af ter centrifuging and discharge to the cask liner, a spent resin sample was obtained.
- The sample was immediately weighed, then oven dried for 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and re-weighed. The moisture content of the centrifuged spent resin was calculated to be 59.6%.- The l

j l A second method was used to determine if vibration would leach water from the unused
- resin. A lab centrifuge was sat up with resin and resin plus filter aid mixtures.
l The centrifuge was set for 700 RPM for 30 minutes. No free water was observed in any
- of the mixtures.
t The results of theue tests showed that the moisture content of centrifuge processed I. resins was less than or equal to mixtures of unused commercial grade ion exchange
. resins. At these moisture contents, all the water remains bound even after severe i vibration in a centrifuge, therefore it is concluded that Vermont Yankee's centrifuged i spent resins do not include any free-standing liquids.
4 To comply with the statement, " Any liquida present in waste packages shall be non-corrosive with respect to the container", Vermont Yankee tested the pH of various resin j
i mixtures used by the plant in solution with water. The range was found to be 4.2 -
l 8.4. A solution is not considered corrosive to iron if the pH is greater than 4.0.
A resin sample is taken from each liner prior to shipment. The sample is counted to determine the activity and waste classification. The majority of the resins generated are Class A w&sta. All Class B or C resins will be disposed of in an apprwved High Integrity Container (HIC).
$ Vendor supplied or temporary methods of processing resina may be used in lieu of the j above process provided that the vendor or temporary process meets the requirements of 1 quality described above and does not conflict with accepted burial criteria or safety
] requirements. Such methods will be reviewed and approved by the Plant Health Physicist
}
and.the Radiation Protection Supervisor prior to implementation.
4.0 Filter Liners During refueling outages and normal operation, liquid radwaste processing may muire use of a decanting filter on the condensate phase separators. A floating suction is used to decant the water and resin into a filter liner. Filtered water is pumped form the liner. When use of the liner is completed, a vacuum pump is attached to dewater the rc. n in the liner. The liner is dewatered for a minimum of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> and until no more water is viewed from the pump discharge. A resin sample is taken from the liner and counted to determine the activity and waste classification.
5.0- Drv Active Waste (DAW)
All DAW is examined before being compacted. Any liquids or items found that would compromise the integrity of the package are removed and separated as specified by procedure. All waste is compacted into boxes using a box compactor. Containers used for DAW shipments moet the criteria of 49 CFR 173.425a. or - b. "No leakage of radioactive material" as specified in 49 CFR 173.425.b.1 will be met provided that no radioactive materials in quantities equal to or exceeding those specified in 49 CFR 173.443 are detected on the external surfaces of the package at any time during shipment.

No waste capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or reaction will be disposed as per 10 CFR 61.56(a)(4).
8.0 Toxie Waste No waste capable of generating toxic gases, vapore, or fumes will be disposed as per 10 CFR 61.56(a)(5).
i 9.0 Pyrochoric Waste No waste that is pyrophoric will be disposed as per 10 CFR 61.56(a)(6).
10.0 Mich Intecrity Containers ,
Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation has contracted with various suppliers of approved HICs. South Carolina has approved PCPs for HICs used by Vermont Yankee.
Any HIC Vermont Yankee may choose to use at some future time, will meet all applicable requirements.
11.0 Waste class Determination Vermont Yankee periodically performs laboratory analysis on all waste streams to determine the activity of radionuclides listed in Tables 1 and 2 of 10 CFR 61.
Correlation analysis shows that the relative concentration of each radionuclide, with respect to the overall activity in a given Vermont Yankee waste stream, remains constant over time. A set of scaling f actors is determined which allows the activity of 10 CFR 61 radionuclides to be estimated using the results of gamma spectrometric analysis or direct gamma dose rate measurements. -
For resin wastes, analysis is performed on samples of each source of resin comprising the contents of a burial container. Scaling factors are applied to the activity of radionuclides identified by gamma spectrometry analysis to determine the activity of those radionuclides which are not detected in the gamma spectrum.
For DAW, dose rate-to-curie conversion calculations are performed to determine the total activity present in a container. Scaling f actors are applied to the container's total curie content to determine the activity of individual radionuclides.
Once the activity of each radionuclide in a burial container is estimated, the waste classification is derived using methods required by 10 CFR 61.
Specific procedures for waste class determination are contained in AP 0504, " Shipping and Receiving of Radioactive Material".

APPENDIX H OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL i
Reguir.cment : Technical Specification 6.13.A.1 requires that licensee ;
3 Initiated change; to the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) be submitted to the CommiAsion in the Semiannual Radioactive a
', Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change (s) was made effective.
i Enannnan: There were two revisions to the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual during this reporting period:
l j
l 1. The dairy farm at Station TM-16/TC-16 went out of business L and was sold at auction in July of 1991. A substitute location was chosen to replace it, and the first samples i
! were collected there in July of 1991. The new milk and
! cattle feed sampling location is designated TM-15 and TC-15 (for milk and cattle feed, respectively). Theec changes l 1 i
were made to the ODCM as Revision 11. They will not reduce the accuracy or reliability of dose calculations or setpoint determination. The changed ODCM pages are attached.
- 2. .The-Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual was amended to include i Method I off-site dose calculations for a ground level release f rom the Turbine Building roof vents. Method I dose model assumptions are conservative. They assume a ground level release receptor point at the site. boundary with the
-maximum atmospheric dispersion factors. At this location all possible-pathways are assumed to exist (e.g., ground plane, inhalation, garden, milk, and meat). These changes were made to the ODCM as Revision 12. This revision provides a method for integrating the measured releases from j the Turbine Building through the roof vents into the total I
(
release calculation for the plant. It will not reduce the l
accuracy or reliability of dose calculations or setpoint'
[
l- determinations. The changed ODCM pages are attached.

time duration, this approach of limiting dose rates equivalent to the annual dose limits then assures that 10CFR20.106 limits on an annual average air concentration in unrestricted areas will be met.
Each of the methods to calculate dose or dose rate are presented in separate sections of Chapter 3, and are summarized in Tables 1.1-1 to 1.1-7.
Each method has two levels of complexity and conservative margin and are called Method I and Method II. Method I has the greatest margin and is the simplest; generally a linear equation. Method 11 is a more detailed analysis chich allows for use of site-specific factors and variable parameters to be selected to best fit the actual release. Guidance is provided but the <
appropriate margin and depth of analysis are determined in each instance at the.' time of analysis under Method II.
The plant has two gaseous release points: the main vent stack (elevated release) and the Turbine Building roof vents (ground level release). Therefore, total dose calculations for skin, whole body, and the critical organ-from gaseous releases will be the sum of the elevated and i
ground level doses.

-3.4 Method to Calculate the Total Body Dose Rate from Noble Gases l Technical Specification 3.8.E.1 limits the dose rate at any time to the ,
total body from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary equal to or less than 500 mrem / year. By limiting the maximum Rtb to a i
rate equivalent to no more than 500 mrem / year, assurance is provided that the total body dose accrued in any one year by any member of the general public cf eill be less than 500 mrem in accordance with the annual dose limits of 10CFR Part 20. to unrc4tricted areas.
Use Method I first to calculate the Total Body Dose Rate from the peak release rate via the plant stack and Turbine Building roof vent. Method I applies at all release rates.
Use Method II if Method I predicts a dose rate greater than the Technical Specification limit (i.e., use of actual meteorology over the- period of interest) to determine if, in fact, Technical Specification 3.8 E.1 had actually been exceeded during a short time interval.
_ Compliance with the dose rate limits for noble gases are continuously demonstrated when effluent release rates are below the plant stack noble gas activity monitor alarm setpoint by virtue of the fact that the alarm setpoint
.is based on a value which corresponds to the off-site dose rate limit of Technical Specification 3.8.E.1, or a value below it.
Determinations of dose rates for compliance with Technical Specifications (3.8.E.1) are performed when the effluent monitor alarm '
setpoint is exceeded and the corrective action required by Specification 3.8 E.2 is unsuccessful, or as required by the notations to Technical Specification Table 3.9.2 when the stack noble gas monitor is ,

Due to the holdup and decay of gases allowed in the A0G, off-gas concentrations at the plant stack during routine plant
_ operations are usually too low for determination of the radionuclide mix at the plant stack. It is then conservatively assumed that most of the noble gas activity at the plant stack is the result of in-plant steam leaks which are removed to the plant stack by building ventilation air flow, and that this air '
flow his an isotopic distribution consistent with that routinely measured at
,the SJAE.
Regarding the calculation of ground level release doses from the Turbine Building Roof Vent, the ground level atmospheric dispersion factors are based on the same methodologies as used for the stack dispersion factors Revisicn 12 Date 10/01/91 3-18 8855R
(same noble gas mix, meteorological history (1981-1985), and meteorological models), and are for the site boundary location that will have the highest dose.
In the case of noble gas dose rates, Method 11 cannot provide much extra lealism because R tbs and R tbg are already based on several factors which make use of current plant parameters However, should it be needed, the dose rate analysis for critical receptor can be performed making use of currer.t meteorology during the time interval of recorded peak release rate in place cf the default atmospheric dispersion factor used in Method I.
3.4.3 Method II If Method I cannot be applied, or if the Methot I dose exceeds the limit, then Method 11 may be applied. Method II consists of the models, input data and assumptions in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev. 1 IReference A), except where site-specific models, data or assumptions are more applicable. The base ,

g gg The selection of a critical r:cepive (based on the combinatio1 of exposure pathways which include direct dose from the ground plane, inhalation, and ingestion of vegetables, meat, and milk) which is outlined in Section 3.10 is inherent in Method I, as are the maximum expected off-site atmospheric dispersion factors based on past long-term site-specific meteorology.
Regarding the calculation of ground level release doses from the Turbine Building roof vent, the selection of a critical eceptor is based on the site boundary with the highest ground level atmospheric dispersion factor (based on same meteorological history and models as used in the stack) and the assumption that all of the exoosure pathways used for the stack release occur at this site boundary.
Should Method II be needed, the analysis for critical receptor critical pathway (s) and atmospheric dispersion factors may be performed with actual meteorologic and latest land use census data to identify the location of those pathways which are most impacted by these type of releases.

3.8 Method to Calculate the Beta Air Dose from Noble Gases Technical Specification 3.8.F.1 limits the beta dose to air from noble gases at any location at or beyond the site boundary to 10 mrad in any quarter and 20 mrad in any year. Dose evaluation is required at least once per month.
Use Method I first to calculate the beta air dose for the plant stack and Turbine Building roof vent releases during the period. Method I applies at all dose levels.
Use Mathod II if a more accurate calculation is needed or if Method I cannot be applied. _

Equations 3-23 and 3-43 can be applied under the following conditions (otherwise justify Method I or consider Method II):
- 1. Normal operations (not emergency event), and
- 2. Noble gas releases via the plant stack and Turbine Building vent to the atmosphere.
3.8.2 Basis for Method I This section serves three purposes: (1) to document that Method I complies with appropriate NRC regulations, (2) to provide background and training information to Method I users, and (3) to provide an introductory user's guide to Method II. The methods to calculate beta air dose parallel the gamma air dose methods in Section 3.7.3. Only the differences are presented here.
Method I may be used to show that the Technical Specification which limits off-site beta air dose from gaseous effluents (3.8. A.1) has been met for releases over appropriate periods. This Technical Specification is based on the Objective in 10CFR50, Appendix I, Subsection B.1, which limits the estimated annual beta air dose at unrestricted area locations.
Exceeding the.0bjective'does not immediately limit plant operation but requires a report to the NRC within 30 days.

3.9 Method to Calculate the Critical Organ Dose from Iodines, Tritium and Particulates l Technical Specification 3.8.G.1 limits the critical organ dose to a Member of the Public from radioactive lodines, Tritium, and particulates with half-lives greater than 8 days (hereafter called "I+P") in gaseous effluents to 7.5 mrem per quarter and 15 mrem per year. Technical Specification 3.8.M.1
' limits the total body and organ dose to any real member of the public from all station sources (including gaseous effluents) to 25 mrem in a year except for the thyroid, which is limited to 75 mrem in a year.
Use Method I first to calculate the critical organ dose from a vent stack and Turbine Building roof vent release as it is simpler to execute and more conservative than Method II. Method I is conservative for total body, critical organ,- and thyroid dose greater than 0.1 mrem.
Use Method II if a more accurate calculation of critical organ dose is needed (i.e., Method I indicates the dose is greater than the limit), or if Method I cannot be applied, or if the majority of the release is Iodine and the 75 mrem limit for Specification 3.8.L.1 needs to be evaluated.
3.9.1 Method I D - DFG (3-25) cos. sico (mrem) (C1) ( *]* ) -
Q = Total iodine, tritium, and particulate activity (Ci) released from the stack to the atmosphere of radionuclide "1" during the period of interest. For strontiums, use the most recent measurement.
DFG .. Site-specific critical organ dose factor for a stark gaseous 33C release of radionuclide "1" (mrem /C1). For each radionuclide it is the age group and organ with the largest dose factor. See Table 1.1-12.
Revision 2 Date 10/01/91 3-38 8855R
The critical organ dose is calculated for ground level releases as
.follows:
l O - OFG (3-44) cog _Q gico (mrem) (C1)
(*]*)
Q - Total lodine, tritium, and particulate activity (Ci) released from the Turbine Building to the atmosphere of radionuclide "1" during the period of interest. For strontiums, use the most recent measurement.
DFG - Site-specific critical organ dose factor for a ground level 9 ICO release (Turbine Building) of nuclide "1" (mrem /Cl). For each radionuclide it is the age group and organ with the largest dose factor. See Table 1.1-12.
Equations 3-25 and 3-44 can be applied under the following conditions (otherwise, justify Method I or consider Method II):
- 1. Normal operations (not emergency event),
- 2. I+P releases via the plant stack and Turbine Building to the atmosphere, and
- 3. Any continuous or batch release over any time period.
3.9.2 Basis for Method I This section serves three purposes: (1) to document that Method I complies with appropriate NRC regulations, (2) to provide background and training information to Method I users, and (3) to provide an introductory user's guide to Method II.
Method I may be used to show that the Technical Specifications which limit off-site organ dose from gases (3.8.G.1 and 3.8.L.1) have been met for releases over the appropriate periods. These Technical Specifications are based on Objectives and Standards in 10CFR and 40CFR. Technical Specification 3.8.G.1 is based on the ALARA Objectives in 10CFR50, Appendix I, Revision 12 - Date 10/01/91 3-39
. 8855R
l Subsection II C. Technica' Specification 3,8.M.1 is based on Environmental
' Standards for Uranium fuel Cycle in 40CFR190 (hereafter called the Standard) tshich applies to direct radiation as well as liquid and gaseous effluents.
These methods apply only to I+P in gaseous effluents contribution.
Exceeding the Objective or the Standard does not immediately limit plant operation but requires a report to the NRC within 30 days. In addition, a waiver may be required.
Method I was developed such that "the actual exposure of an individual ... is unlikely to be substantially underestimated" (10CFR50, Appendix I). The use below of a-single " critical receptor" provides part of the conservative margin to t'he calculation cif critical organ dose in Method I. Method II. allows that actual-individuals, with real behaviors, be taken into account for any given release. In fact, Method I was based on a Method II analysis of the critical receptor for the annual average conditions. For purposes of complying with the Technical Specifications 3.8.G.2 maximum long term (five years) average atmospheric dispersion factors are appropriate for batch and continuous releases. That analysis was called the " base case"; it was then reduced to form Method I.
The base case, the method of reduction, and the assumptions and data used are presented below.
The steps performed in the Method I derivation follow. First, in the base case, the dose impact to the critical receptor in the form of dose factors (mrem /Cl) of I curie release of each I+P radionuclide to gaseous effluents was derived. Then Method I was determined using simplifying and further conservative assumptions. The base case analysis uses the methods, data and assumptions in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Equations C-2. C-4 and C-13 in Reference A). Tables 3.9-1 and 3.9-2 outline human consumption and environmental parameters used in the analysis. It is conservatively assumed that the critical receptor lives at the " maximum off-site atmospheric dispersion factor location" as defined in Section 3.10. However, he is exposed, conservatively, to all pathways (see Section 3.10). The resulting site-specific dose factors are for the maximum organ and the age group with Revision 12 Date 10/01/91 3-40
, 8855R
the highest dose. factor for that organ. These critical organ, critical age dose factors are given in Table 1.1-12.
For any gas release, during any period, the increment in annual average dose from radionuclide "1" is:
(3-26)
ADjco = OgDFG gco there OFG gen is the critical dose factor for radionuclide "1" and Qg is the activity of radionuclide "1" released in curies.
Method I is more conservative than Method II in the region of the Technical Specification limits because it is based on the following reduction of the base case. The dose factors DFGg,,g used in Method I were chosen from the base case to be the highest of the set for that radionuclide. In effect
.each radionuclide is. conservatively represented by its own critical age group and critical organ.
Because of the assumptions about receptors, environment, and radionuclides and because of the low Objective and Standard, the lack of
-immediate restriction on plant operation, and the adherence to 10CFR20 concentrations (which limit public health consequences) a failure of Method I (i.e , the exposure of a real individual being underestimated) is improbable and the consequences of a failure are minimal.
3.9.3 METH00 II If Method I cannot be applied, or if the Method I dose exceeds the limit or if a-more exact calculation is required, then Method II should be applied. Method II consists of the models,-input data and assumptions in Regulatory Guide 1.109, Rev.1 (Reference A), except where site-specific models, data or assumptions are more applicable. The base case analysis, documented above, is a good example of the use of Method II. It is an acceptable starting point for a Method II analysis. Analyses requiring Method II calculations should be referred to YNSO to be perforced and documented.

3.10 Receptor Points and Annual Average _ Atmospheric Dispersion factors for Important Exposure Pathways The gaseous effluent dose methods have been simpilffed by assuming an individual whose behavior and living habits inevitably lead to a higher dose than anyone else. The following exposure pathways to gaseous effluents listed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference A) have been considered:
- 1. Direct exposure to contaminated air;
- 2. Direct exposure to contaminated ground;
- 3. Inhalation of air; 4 Ingestion of vegetables;
- 5. Ingestion of cow's milk; and
- 6. Ingntion of rneat.
Section 3.10.1 details the selection of important off-site locations and receptors. Sectior. 3.10.2 describes the atmospheric model used to convert meteorologic data into atmospheric dispersion factors. Section 3.10.3 presents the maximum atmospheric dispersion factors calculated at 9ach of the off-site receptor locations.
3.10.1 Receptor locations
! Three important receptor locations are considered in the dose and dose rate equations for gaseous radioactive effluents. They are:
f
- 1. The point of maximum gamma exposure from an overhead noble gas cloud; Revision 12 Date 10/01/91 3-44
- 6855R
- 2. The point of maximum ground level air concentration and deposition of radionuclides. f The point of maximum gamma exposure ($ sector, 400 meters) was determined by finding the maximum five-year average gamma X/Q at an.v off-site location. The location of the maximum ground level air concentration and deposition of radionuclides (NW sector, 2900 meters) was determined by finding the maximum five-year average depleted X/Q and 0/Q at any off-site location. ,
for the purposes of determining the Method I dose factors for iodines, tritium, and particulates, a milk animal was assumed to exist at the location ,
of highest calculated ground level air concentration and deposition as noted above. This location then conservatively bounds the deposition of radionuclides at all real milk animal locatiens.
Regarding the calculation of ground level release doses from the Turbine Building roof vent, the selection of a critical receptor is based on the site boundary with the highest ground level atmospheric dispersion factor (based on same meteorological history and models as used in the stack) and the assumption ti,at all of the exposure pathways used for the stack release occur at this site boundary. .
3.10.2 Vermont Yankee Atmosp_heric Dispersion Model The annual average atmospheric dispersion factors are computed for routine (long-term) releases using Yankee Atomic Electric Company's (YAEC)
AEOLUS Computer Code (Reference B). AEOLUS is based, in part, on the straight-line airflow model discussed in Regulatory Guide 1.111 (Reference C). The valley in which the plant is located is considered by the model.
AE0LUS produces the following annual average atmospheric dispersion factors for each location:
- 1. . Undepleted X/Q dispersion factors for evaluating ground level concentrations; Revision 12 Date 10/01/91 g
8855R
-,,,,,,.,~,-m__
- 2. Depleted X/Q dispersion factors for evaluating ground level concentrations;
- 3. Gamma X/Q dispersion factors for evaluating gamma dose rates from a sector averaged finite cloud (multiple energy undepleted source);
and 4 D/Q deposition factors for evaluating dry deposition of elemental radiolodines and other particulates.
The deposition velocity concept presented in "Heteorology and Atomic Energy - 1968" (Reference E, Section S-3.2) is used to determine the depleted X/Q and D/Q factors, assuming a constant deposition velocity of I cm/sec.
L Gamma dose rate is calculated throughout this 00CH using the finite cloud model presented in "Neteorology and Atomic Energy - 1968" (Reference E.
Section 7-5.2.5). That model is implemented through the definition of an effef.tive gamma atmospheric dispersion factor, (X/QY ) (Reference B. Section 6), and the replacement of X/Q in infinite cloud dose equations by the (X/QT ).
3.10.3 Annual Average Atmospheric Dispersion factors for Receptors Actual measured meteorological data for the five-year period, 1981 through 1985, were analyzed to determine all the values and locations of the l
maximum off-site annual average atmospheric dispersion factors. Each dose and dose rate cal:ulation incorporates the maximum applicable off-site annual average atmospheric dispersion factor. The values used and their locations are summarized in Table 3.10-1. Table 3.10-1 also indicates which atmospheric dispersion factors are used to calculate the various doses or dose rates of interest.

(d) Intermodular Gap Dose In addition to the above methods for determining doses at the west site boundary from the LLW storage pad, another dose assessment model has been included to address the possible condition of spaces or gaps existing between the placement of the OAW storage modules situated along the west facing side of the pad. This could result in a radiation streaming condition existing if ion exchange resin liners were placed in storage directly behind the gap. The direct dose equations (3-30 and 3-31) consider that the storage modules situated on the outside of the pad area provide a uniform shield to storage modules placed behind them. The inMrmodular gap dose equation (3-35) accounts for any physical spacing between the outside storage modules which have not been covered by additional external shielding.

and R 5 ".
3 For the noble gas mixture in this example Rspt is less than R t , indicating that the total body dose rate is more restrictive.
Therefore, in this example the " Stack Ga' .* and " Stack Gas II" noble gas activity monitors should each be set at 112,050 cpm above background or at some conservative value below this (such as that which might be based on controlling release rates from the plant in order to maintain off-site air concentrations below 2 x MPC when averaged over an hour), or to account for other minor releases from the Turbine Building roof vents. For example, if an administrative limit of 70 percent of the Technical Specification whole body dose limit 500 mrem /yr (112,050 cpm) is chosen, then the noble gas monitor alarms should te set at 78,435 cpm above background (0.7 x 112.050 78,435).
5.2.1.3 Basis for the Plant Stack and A0G System Noble Gas Activity Monitor Setpoints The setpoints of the plant stack and A0G system noble gas activity monitors must ensure that Technical Specification 3.8.E.1.a is not exceeded.
Sections 3.4 and 3.5 show that Equations 3-5 and 3-7 are acceptable methods for determining compliance with that Technical Specification. Which equation (i.e., dose to total body or skin) is more limiting depends on the noble gas Therefore, each equation must be considered separately. The mixture.
derivatio.is of Equations 5-9 and 5 10 begin with the general equation for the response R of a radiation monitor:

9 9 - Detector counting efficiency for noble gas "i" (cpm /(pC1/cm ))
C,g'. Activity concentration of noble gas3 "1" in the mixture at the noble gas activity monitor (pC1/cm )
The relative release rate of each noble gas, h g (pC1/sec), in the total release rate is normally determined by analysis of a sample of off-gas obtained at the Steam Jet Air Ejector (SJAE). Noble gas release rates at the plant stack and the A0G discharge are usually so low that the activity concentration is below the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for sample analysis. As a result, the release rate mix ratios measured at the SJAE are used to present any radioactivity being discharged from the stack, such as may have resulted from plant steam leaks that have been collected by building ventilation. For the A0G monitor downstream of the charcoal delay beds, this leads to a conservative setpoint since several short-lived (high dose factor) noble gas radionuclides are then assumed to be present at the monitor, which in reality, would not be expected to be present in the system at that point.
During periods when the plant is shutdown (after five days), and no radioactivity release rates can be messured at the SJAE, Xe-133 is the dominant long-lived noble gas and may be used as the referenced radionuclide to determine off-site dose rates and monitor setpoints. Alternately, a relative radioauclide, "i", mix fraction, (f ), may g be taken from Table 5.2-1 as a function of time after shutdown (including periods shorter than five days) to determine the relative fraction of each noble gas potentially available for release to the total. However, prior to plant startup before a SJAE sample can be taken and analyzed, the monitor alarm setpoints should be based on Xe-138 as representing the most prevalent high dose factor noble gas Revision 12 Date 10/01/91 5-15 8855R

alarm setpoints which have been determined to be conservative under any plant conditions may be utilized at any time in lieu of the above assumptions.
C,g the activity concentration of noble gas "1" at the noble gas activity monitor, may be expressed in terms of Qg by dividing by f, the appropriate flow rate. In the case of the plant stack noble gas activity monitors the appropriate flow rate is the plant stack flow rate and for the A0G noble gas activity monitors the appropriate flow rate is the A0G system flow rate.

Notes for Plant Data a) Above (1) Critical organ dose factor taken from Table 1.1-12.
- For Sr-89/90, use the most recent available measurement from the quarterly composite _ analysis.
- Na-24 has a half life of lecs than 8-1/2 days, and therefore is not included in accordance with Techitical Specification 3.8.G.I.
+Mn-54 is not included in the dose analysis since it was not detected as being present above the required LLD.
b) Total iodine release for the month based on the combined charcoal and ;
particulate filter samples taken during the month:

Notes for Plant Data b) Above
- In this case 1-133 was found in one of the weekly stack sa': pies to be present,'and therefore based on that value is included-in the dose analysis.
- I-135 is not included in the dose analysis because it has a half life less than 8-1/2 days for particulates~and is not included as a required iodine in Technical Specification 3.8.B.I.
+ Tritium value based on the monthly stack grab sample.
The dose factor-(DFGsico) for each radionuclide detected in the plant stack charcoal and particulate-filter sample (plus tritium) is taken from Table 1.1-12 of the 00CM.
